Junge Deutsche unzufrieden mit Politik und sozioökonomischer Entwicklung: Erhebung

Zwei von drei jungen Deutschen zwischen 14 und 29 Jahren sind besorgt über die Verbraucherpreise, die in den letzten Jahren stark gestiegen sind. Etwa die Hälfte macht sich Sorgen um teuren Wohnraum und hat Angst vor Altersarmut, so die Trendstudie „Jugend in Deutschland“.

„Die Aussicht auf ein gutes Leben schwindet“, sagte Simon Schnetzer, Autor und Herausgeber der Umfrage unter 2.042 Personen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen „eine tiefsitzende mentale Verunsicherung mit Verlust des Vertrauens in die Beeinflussbarkeit der persönlichen und gesellschaftlichen Lebensbedingungen“, betonte er.

Streiks sind rechtmäßig – Jetzt ist die DB am Zug

„Wer hohe Millionenbeträge zur Befriedigung von Vorständen beansprucht, sollte sich zumindest auch für die Eisenbahner verantwortlich zeigen und durch verbesserte Arbeitsbedingungen auf Marktniveau im Konkurrenzkampf um die benötigten Fachkräfte werben“, so Weselsky. „Wir nehmen als GDL unsere Verantwortung sehr ernst und werden die Arbeits- und Lebensbedingungen der Eisenbahner auch in die Zukunft hinein verbessern. Hier spielt es eine untergeordnete Rolle, ob dieser Weg noch weitere Arbeitskampfmaßnahmen abfordert, oder besser endlich mit einem verhandlungsfähigen Angebot der DB auch kurzfristig zum Ergebnis führt.“

Unser Gründungsmanifest: Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht

Unser Land ist in keiner guten Verfassung. Seit Jahren wird an den Wünschen der Mehrheit vorbei regiert. Statt Leistung zu belohnen, wurde von den Fleißigen zu den oberen Zehntausend umverteilt. Statt in einen kompetenten Staat und gute öffentliche Dienste zu investieren, haben Politiker die Wünsche einflussreicher Lobbys bedient und dadurch die öffentlichen Kassen geleert. Statt Freiheit und Meinungsvielfalt zu achten, macht sich ein autoritärer Politikstil breit, der den Bürgern vorschreiben will, wie sie zu leben, zu heizen, zu denken und zu sprechen haben. Die Regierung wirkt planlos, kurzsichtig und in vielen Fragen schlicht inkompetent. Ohne einen politischen Neuanfang stehen unsere Industrie und unser Mittelstand auf dem Spiel.

Fresh protests across France as Constitutional Council largely upholds Macron‘s pension reform

(14.04.2023)

The French constitutional court on Friday approved the key elements of President Emmanuel Macron‘s controversial pension reform while rejecting certain parts of the legislation. Pushing the legal age for drawing a full pension from 62 to 64, the legislation is deeply unpopular in France and has triggered months of mass protests.

‘Democracy at stake’: French protesters vent fury at Macron over pension push

French protesters downed their tools and marched once again in Paris and other cities on Thursday, galvanised by President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to ram his deeply unpopular pension reform through parliament without a vote, in what critics have branded a “denial of democracy”.

Emmanuel Macron: France’s Caligula?

Instead, on Macron’s orders, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne used a controversial clause in the Constitution, Article 49.3, to pass the bill.

The Republican Party are widely supportive of Macron’s reform bill, which raises the age of retirement from sixty-two to sixty-four, and issued instructions for its sixty-one Members of Parliament to vote against the motion. But nineteen of its MPs defied orders, adding to the dissent and disorder which has swept France in recent days, in parliament and on the street.

Macron holds firm on pension reform bill as protests escalate

Dismissing calls for a snap election or a referendum, he said the plan to raise France’s minimum retirement age from 62 to 64 would continue on its “democratic path” and come into force by the end of 2023.

The French president also reaffirmed his faith in Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne, whose government narrowly survived a no-confidence vote triggered by Macron‘s use of special executive powers to bypass parliament.

… and reform pensions so that most Czechs work until 68. This is the age in which most citizens are no longer fit and healthy. It is good to add that pensions in the Czech republic are ridiculously low, and the country spends a below-average share of GDP in the EU comparison.

What a shame. To appease the warmongers, during this time the Czech government raised annual military budget to match 2% GDP as they are planning to purchase F-35 fighter jets costing 100 billion CZK. The pension cuts will save them 19 billion this year.

Protests erupt as French government forces through higher retirement age

The pension reform bill passed the French Senate earlier on Thursday, but was not expected to pass the National Assembly – the lower house of the country’s parliament – where lawmakers were due to vote this afternoon.

The session was stopped early for Borne’s announcement. Lawmakers erupted into chaotic scenes as she explained the government’s decision, fighting to be heard as lawmakers sang French national anthem “La Marseillaise” and others held signs reading “No to 64 years.”

French President Macron overrides parliament to pass retirement age bill

French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday resorted to using special constitutional powers.
The pensions overhaul has been met with widespread protests and strikes across France.
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne announced to the assembly that the government would trigger Article 49.3 of the French Constitution.

Protests in Paris as Macron forces through controversial pension reform

But the government was unsure of the vote numbers in the National Assembly, forcing French Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne to announce the triggering of Article 49.3.

The decision runs the risk of further inflaming the protests and strikes that have rocked France over the last months. It also gives the opposition the right to immediately call a confidence vote in parliament.

The opposition reacted with fury to the decision to avoid a vote after weeks of debates on the legislation.

France saw a wave of strikes against Emmanuel Macron’s pension reforms on Thursday, causing disruption to trains, flights, schools and even hospitals. Polls show a majority of the French oppose the president’s measures – and analysts say maintaining public support of strikes will be crucial to unions’ chances of forcing a U-turn.
